This is an announcement only mailing list. The content is the same as on linux-cvs except that emails contain the full patch commited into CVS. If you subscribe to this list be prepared to receive ''huge'' emails of upto 10MB and beyond. Most people are better of by reading patches in the HTML archive.

Subscription to this lists is handled via Ecartis (ecartis@linux-mips.org), just send an email with the words subscribe <list-name>. In order to unsubscribe, send unsubscribe linux-mips. Sending the word help will reveal further secrets about the advanced use of Ecartis. There's also a [http://www.linux-mips.org/ecartis web-based interface to Ecartis].

Mailing lists

This mailing list currently has the most traffic. It is especially of interest as a good number of active developers are subscribed to this list.

linux-cvs@linux-mips.org

This is an announcement only mailing list to which a message for every CVS commit into linux-mips.org's, CVS archive of the Linux/MIPS community, is being sent. This allows following the development as it happens.

linux-cvs-patches@linux-mips.org

This is an announcement only mailing list. The content is the same as on linux-cvs except that emails contain the full patch commited into CVS. If you subscribe to this list be prepared to receive huge emails of upto 10MB and beyond. Most people are better of by reading patches in the HTML archive.

Subscription to this lists is handled via Ecartis (ecartis@linux-mips.org), just send an email with the words subscribe <list-name>. In order to unsubscribe, send unsubscribe linux-mips. Sending the word help will reveal further secrets about the advanced use of Ecartis. There's also a web-based interface to Ecartis.

Note linux-mips.org is using the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) TCP extension as described in RFC 3168. The bug is known for years yet still defective firewalls that are dropping TCP SYN packets with ECN bits set are in use. If you can reach linux-mips.org yet don't receive any email from any of the linux-mips.org mailing lists you may have this problem.

The majority of subscribers doesn't seem to like HTML email, so please disable HTML for postings.

There are archives for these two lists in UNIX mbox format and a searchable web archive. The web archive is re-indexed every few hours, so usually it's a good idea to try it first when searching for anything that might be archived on one of the lists. Archives are also maintained for a few historic mailing lists.

Privacy: linux-mips.org will not use the subscriber list for any other purpose than operation of the mailing lists and in rare cases for other administrative purposes of linux-mips.org. Postings to the public mailing lists will be archived and possibly mirrored on other sites. If you don't like this don't post.

IRC

There is an IRC channel named #mipslinux for Linux/MIPS which may be
found on irc.freenode.net.

Anonymous CVS

For those who always want to stay on the bleeding edge, and want to avoid having to download patch files or full tarballs, we also have an anonymous CVS server. Using CVS, you can checkout the Linux/MIPS source tree with the following commands where you insert linux, libc, gdb or faq for <repository>:

cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ftp.linux-mips.org:/home/cvs login
(Only needed the first time you use anonymous CVS, the password is "cvs")
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ftp.linux-mips.org:/home/cvs co <repository>

The "linux" repository contains a linux_2_2, linux_2_4 branch and Linux 2.6 on the trunk.

There is a mailing list for information on what gets committed to this repository.

Web CVS

Via cvsweb, you have direct access to the new Linux/MIPS kernel sources, and a few other projects hosted in the same CVS archive. The intuitive interface allows you to follow the development at the click of your mouse.

XCVS

XCVS runs nightly and generates patches for CVS commits made in the previous day. You can search patches through a variety of searching criteria. Click here to explore.
